^ umm… (I hate the vikings, but)
The eagles were in posistion for a no.2 seed in the playoffs heading into the game, the vikings had nothing to really play for, they had that 5th string wr playing qb for them….
and The Eagles got beat down. idk if that should be considered a “preseason” game for the eagles considering what was on the line.

Uh, dude, do a little research before you run your mouth. Yes, you’ll still sound like a moron, but at least you’ll sound like a semi-informed moron. Romo’s winning % is better than either Young or Vick. Romo has 3 seasons with higher passing yardage than Vick and despite having less time in the league than Vick, Romo is 2,000 yards ahead. That’s over a MILE. May I suggest a name change for you to “Don’t know jack”.

Hey guys. I’m new to posting but I’ve been reading this site for awhile now. I see some of you posting an answer directly to another persons post, which includes the previous post in your reply. How is that done? I tried copy/paste and. well.. I guess I just suck.

———————————-

We are literally copy/pasting the person’s response in full, drawing a line beneath it, and proceeding with what we want to say.

The Eagles offensive line and linebackers will be why this team doesn’t live up to the hype.

Rly? Batteries? That was the Phillies first of all. Ant yet another beautiful mind to rehash the “dog killer” comments. Typical hater. We threw snowballs at Santa too…back in the 70’s.. that must be relevent now too huh? Tool.

And someone mentioned about “some QB in Pittsburg with a blowup doll Oline and Pouncey for a center still doing good” Remind me…did you win the SB last year. Now BigBen is a tough QB to bring down, I’ll give him that.. But you beat cinderlla teams in his 2 SB wins then you get up against a real SB team in GB and fold. You want a bad OLine, go ask Jay “I’ve had enough and my knee hurts so I tihnk I’m gonna sit down 50+ sack a year” Cutler about a bad OLine. Go find a QB in the league doing well and better chances are you find a stout competent OLine in front of him.

Thu, 25 Aug 2011 18:40:26 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=149800#comment-1221084…..and later in that same interview, Andy Reid revealed that despite constant rumors to the contrary over the last 10 years…his waist size is at most, a 38.

VY will be starting by week 8 after Vick gets broken in half for not sliding, or due to a C battery in the noggin from the Philthy fans.

Stupid is as stupid does. Or is it…you can’t teach an old dog killer new tricks..?

There’s only so much Reid can do?!? REALLY?? How about coach? How about gametime adjustments? How about when the safety blitz kills your QB and is UNCHECKED THE WHOLE GAME you should just turn over everything to Vick, let him block his own blindside, pass before the rush comes, then run under his own pass to score. Reid is responsible for getting him some help, either a TE in to block the strong side blitz or keeping a back in there for protection.

You try bashing Philly while not mentioning your joke of a team is coming off a 6-10 campaign . VY’s career winning % is probably right around romo’s , if not better . Go worry about your 6-10 team .

Have the Eagles played a regular season game yet? Vick did play a preseason game against a team with a dynamic defense coming off of a preseason loss who had something to prove.

And the offensive line was crap last year. That doesnt excuse Vick but we’re talking about the same O-Line that got Kevin Kolb concussed. When he doesnt pick up the Blitz in the regular season–then talk crap.

Vick is one of the most stubborn athletes in the last 15 years. (Refusal to slide.)

———————————————————————————–

I guess they will be working right next to the Cowboys DB’s and S’s at hooters. Desean is still limping past Newman. He couldn’t even catch him on one leg….hysterical!!! They just called a pass interference on Jenkins and this weeks game hasn’t even started.

Come on Vox.

Thu, 25 Aug 2011 17:06:01 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=149800#comment-1220815“His numbers last year against the blitz were actually very good because he could escape the rush. The Eagles don’t want to take away Vick’s instincts.”

That is the main reason why Im not worried and not listening to all the sky is falling predictions that came out after Vicks horrible game against the Steelers from the so called football “experts”

He wasnt running. I am about 95% sure that the Eagles coaching staff has told Vick not to run the ball during the preseason to avoid injury. Everyone knows Vick doesnt know how to slide so when it he runs its 100% effort. They cant risk him trying to make a play like the one he did after his 3rd INT.

You cant expect Vick to be anywhere near the same qb if he isnt allowed to run. His entire life he has had that as a safety net. So it has to throw of his mind if its not an option. So instead of being able to relax drop back and look for the best option with the knowledge that if a guy isnt open he can just run, now in the preseason when he drops back he knows that he has to find an open receiver or hes gonna get sacked, lose yardage, or throw an in completion.

That’s a lot of pressure to add to anyone. So its easy to see why he was forcing throws into double and triple coverage. The one thing that has made him such a dynamic player and has been his plan B(and sometimes plan A) and safety net for his entire life was taken away from him. He was doing something he never had to do before and it threw off his game and messed with him head.

That is why Im not worried. Its not like when the real season begins and the games start to count the Eagles are going to handcuff him like they have so far in the preseason. He will be allowed to play Mike Vick football. That doesnt mean running with ball ala 2004 Falcons. That means having the option to take off running. Giving him the peace of mind, the familiarity, the confidence, and the belief that he will be able to find an open receiver in time, but if not he will still be able to help his team advance the ball down the field and pick up a 1st down by pulling the ball down and taking off.

That is who Michael Vick is and its a part of his game that he greatly needs . That is why the preseason for Vick more then any other player shouldnt be taken seriously. Because the man you see on the field in those games who isnt allowed to run isnt even related to the free wheeling, elusive, rocket armed qb who took the league by storm last year and turned himself into a legitimate MVP Candidate.

Now strictly speaking of height and weight he is actually middle-of-the-pack when it comes to that as compared to the 19 teams that run a 4-3 D and the MIKE specifically. Now the kid “plays” small, he has no real accumen for the position which he never played before, and should be moved to OLB and move Chaney back to the MIKE where he played at the end of last year in place of Stu. IDK for the life of me why Chaney isn’t the MIKE to begin with.
